You're likely right, its itallian after all, but right now that is out of my price range. The Mossberg 88 just has to shoot 12 gauge. I could check the used rack of my LGS for something nicer I guess, used shotties are usually cheap there.
I have a Howa 1500 in .308, solid rifle that consistently shoots sub-MOA with factory match ammo. Varmint barrel however, so I wouldn't want to go traipsing through the woods with it.
Depending on the ranges near you, they might have some pretty specific requirements if they are an indoor place. Some places require total metal jacket bullets to reduce lead, some don't allow 5.56 because it can damage the bullet trap, some places don't allow you to shoot quickly.
i’ll call around and ask my local ranges, thank you for the information
Ahh, the fun of buying a used gun and finding out that someone used a piece of nail instead of a pin in the trigger mechanism. Or buying a used Mosin to find out that the boomer fudd who installed the shit-ass optics rail on it drilled one of the holes right into the chamber and filled it with JB weld.
In the motorcycle community those are usually referred to as DSPO - dipshit previous owner. Like the guy who rewired the tail lights on my bike, but it didn't work, so I wired it back to factory and it worked again.
That JB weld will just fireform into the tapped threads bro, it'l be fine!
I traded it to a gunsmith who wanted a try at welding it up. He insisted. Haven't seen how it turned out, but he said he was able to close the hole partially from the top. Supposedly shoots and extracts okay but I still wouldn't trust that thing with brass case.
Yes. I am gonna try printing some.
But what about that bit on the bottom of the shell that holds the primer?
My 20" heavy barrel loves the shit out of M118LR and will happily punch tiny groups all day long with it.
I was thinking the same thing and explaining that to my father, but couldn't think of any examples besides Panzer as well. He doesn't know too much about guns but looks at his PSA emails and all that, and I usually have to talk him out of thinks like a .22 magnum revolver or 10mm handgun.
Stoeger is a big one.
